09/27/20 • 46 min

It's doesn't matter which animal or environment we discuss here on Into The Wild, what always comes up is the damage that deforestation & pollution has on nature, so this week I decided to dive a bit deeper into this topic with climate activist & sustainability writer Laura Young aka Less Waste Laura.

From what materials are the worst, how to avoid them & to does recycling work & what we can do in our own homes, Laura covers so much great detail in this short chat.

We also spoke about the recent Blackstone investments with the alternative milk company Oatly. Who are Blackstone? Why is they problematic & why is this bad? Again, it's covered here by Laura who spoke with Oatly themselves.

Previous Episode

Trophy Hunting Recap with Amy Dickman & Prof Adam Hart

A few weeks ago we released an episode all about Trophy Hunting with 3 Namibian people who know first hand about this topic. After seeing the "mostly good" reaction to the show, I decided I wanted to record a follow up episode with 2 more experts on African conservation, Amy Dickman & Pro Adam Hart.

We discussed not only the reaction to Into The Wild's episode but the reaction to the topic all together. From the common patterns to some quite problematic stances. I also got the chance to ask Amy & Adam about what they think of charities here in the UK who are campaigning to ban trophy hunting.

And finally, the Q&A, where YOU GUYS sent in your questions. Many were quite similar so I condensed these down into a handful of questions.

Next Episode

UK Bird Crime with Indy Greene

On a previous episode with Lucy Lapwing, we discussed how NOT BORING UK wildlife is, and today we prove that point even more by discussing raptors that call this nation, their home.

My guest, Indy Greene, a young naturalist, birder & campaigner, joins me to discuss the different types of raptors we can see, where they like to live & why they are important. Not only that, but Indy is very talented when it comes to bird calls, which of course, I made him demonstrate on the show.

We briefly discussed a topic that has been in the media a lot in the last few weeks & that's raptor persecution. From what it is & what it can mean for raptors, to details of the recent RSPB 2019 incident report, Indy clearly & passionately tells us more on this topic.

If you'd like to keep up to date with the projects & work Indy is working on, you can do so on Twitter & Instagram @Greeneindy. The link to the RSPB Raptor Incident Report can be found below:
